3000 foot Climb on a Bike

Hi,

I decided to start logging now, just so I can keep track of my training.

So far this month I've gone over 500 kilometers in the hills around Nyon. Two Sundays ago I did 87 kms (route: Nyon, Aubonne, Cossonay, L'Isle, Bierre, Gimel, Longirod, Le Vaud, Bassins, Le Muid, Genoliers, Duilliers, Nyon)

Last week I did another 150 kms including an ascent to the top of La Barillette, 1550 meter in elevation. That was on Saturday. It was eleven hundred meters of climb over 20 kms. 700 meter was in the last 10 kilometers. I believe that's a 70% slope very steep. Total ride on Saturday: 43 kms.
